Now I'm just a novice at this, friend DanG, but I think the browning tips, as opposed to brown spots midleaf, can be accounted for by your 31C temp and windy conditions: probably a bit stressful for your young plants to cope, transpiration-wise, but given time and care they'll adapt to the environment. If you're misting them occasionally along with conservative watering that will help. Sometimes a bit of sunburn precedes a nice tan. My Sylvia, as a young cutting, survived last summer, outside, with heat up to 108F and several daily hours of direct sunlight with liberal daily spritzing. Just watch for wilting as a sign that immediate watering is crucial.
Life is short and you only get one. It is yours so use it selfishly. Find your true path and follow it. Be true to your own convictions. And love each other.
